As can Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans and Pentecostals. Yet none agrees with the other. So who's the "true" Christian and presents the "true" Christian stance on the topic?
You say others can support their beliefs with Bible text that makes theirs "correct" Christian beliefs, etc. We're getting a bit lax here, and my ecumenical nature has always lent me to think that many denominations have good beliefs.

My responses are limited to this scope only:

The OP said that babies are born condemned according to "Christian" beliefs. I said that is incorrect, and according to Christian beliefs they are not condemned and in fact babies and children are among God's most blessed.

To show your point to be valid, you must show via proof that (a) there are Christian denominations that believe babies are condemned to hell at birth (as the OP says), (b) that those denominations source that belief with specific Bible verses, and finally (c) what those verses are.
